wiggoforgold Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I woke up this morning and saw a test build of the Brassmasters J17. You need one. So do I. 🙂 Alex 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullie Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 The J17 and an E4 are both on my shopping list. I'm wondering if there might be a J17 to view at Expo EM on the Brassmasters stand in May. Martyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 13 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13 (edited) Morning all, Just a quick update to say if anyone is popping into the O gauge show in Newport today, I'll see you there. I'm there on behalf of @Lord and Butler Model Railways with a selection of O gauge goodies. I know @Gilbert is there with Lockdown Fen, fighting a 00 gauge rearguard action with his 2ic, Eric. Be lovely to see you there. Rob. Edited April 13 by NHY 581 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of 7mm - Bachmann as I sure you're now aware have made a rather neat little announcement that might make you rethink your Narrow Gauge ambitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted May 1 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 1 (edited) Morning all. Well, with the dust settling on SWAG for this year, I'm hoping that normal service can be resumed shortly. Ewe is out at ExmoorRail on Saturday June 1st so a couple of jobs to do on that. However, main focus is now on getting Project W progressing. Even by my standards, progress to date has been at a molluscesque pace. Though some building has taken place, it is little more than a bare board with track down and wired at present. Mindful that I will be setting this up for Railwells on August 2nd, I really must get going on this. This is where we are currently. J15 was being tested but this will be pre WW1 SE&CR. Fiddle yard is going to be at the other end. Goods yard at the camera end. Water feature to the right will be, as per EWE, at the front of the layout. The game is ahoof.
